The act of giving guidance on diagnosis and/or management is known as consultation, and it can be a significant part of a cardiologist's work. Dr. Ram Godeswar works on the same principle. Preoperative risk assessment is a frequent reason for cardiac consultation and with an expert like Dr. Ram Godeswar, it becomes easier.
